Psalmi 139
1 Zborovođi. Davidov. Jahve, proničeš me svega i poznaješ,
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, you have knowledge of me, searching out all my secrets.
2 ti znaš kada sjednem i kada ustanem, izdaleka ti već misli moje poznaješ.
You have knowledge when I am seated and when I get up, you see my thoughts from far away.
3 Hodam li ili ležim, sve ti vidiš, znani su ti svi moji putovi.
You keep watch over my steps and my sleep, and have knowledge of all my ways.
4 Riječ mi još nije na jezik došla, a ti, Jahve, sve već znadeš.
For there is not a word on my tongue which is not clear to you, O Lord.
5 S leđa i s lica ti me obuhvaćaš, na mene si ruku svoju stavio.
I am shut in by you on every side, and you have put your hand on me.
6 Znanje to odveć mi je čudesno, previsoko da bih ga dokučio.
Such knowledge is a wonder greater than my powers; it is so high that I may not come near it.
7 Kamo da idem od duha tvojega i kamo da od tvog lica pobjegnem?
Where may I go from your spirit? how may I go in flight from you?
If I go up to heaven, you are there: or if I make my bed in the underworld, you are there. (Sheol h7585)
9 Uzmem li krila zorina pa se naselim moru na kraj
If I take the wings of the morning, and go to the farthest parts of the sea;
10 i ondje bi me ruka tvoja vodila, desnica bi me tvoja držala.
Even there will I be guided by your hand, and your right hand will keep me.
11 Reknem li: “Nek' me barem tmine zakriju i nek' me noć umjesto svjetla okruži!” -
If I say, Only let me be covered by the dark, and the light about me be night;
12 ni tmina tebi neće biti tamna: noć sjaji kao dan i tama kao svjetlost.
Even the dark is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day: for dark and light are the same to you.
13 Jer ti si moje stvorio bubrege, satkao me u krilu majčinu.
My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.
14 Hvala ti što sam stvoren tako čudesno, što su djela tvoja predivna. Dušu moju do dna si poznavao,
I will give you praise, for I am strangely and delicately formed; your works are great wonders, and of this my soul is fully conscious.
15 kosti moje ne bjehu ti sakrite dok nastajah u tajnosti, otkan u dubini zemlje.
My frame was not unseen by you when I was made secretly, and strangely formed in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Oči tvoje već tada gledahu djela moja, sve već bješe zapisano u knjizi tvojoj: dani su mi određeni dok još ne bješe ni jednoga.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.
17 Kako su mi, Bože, naumi tvoji nedokučivi, kako li je neprocjenjiv zbroj njihov.
How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!
18 Da ih brojim? Više ih je nego pijeska! Dođem li im do kraja, ti mi preostaješ!
If I made up their number, it would be more than the grains of sand; when I am awake, I am still with you.
19 De, istrijebi, Bože, zlotvora, krvoloci nek' odstupe od mene!
If only you would put the sinners to death, O God; go far from me, you men of blood.
20 Jer podmuklo se bune protiv tebe, uzalud se dižu tvoji dušmani.
For they go against you with evil designs, and your haters make sport of your name.
21 Jahve, zar da ne mrzim tvoje mrzitelje? Zar da mi se ne gade protivnici tvoji?
Are not your haters hated by me, O Lord? are not those who are lifted up against you a cause of grief to me?
22 Mržnjom dubokom ja ih mrzim i držim ih svojim neprijateljima.
My hate for them is complete; my thoughts of them are as if they were making war on me.
23 Pronikni me svega, Bože, srce mi upoznaj, iskušaj me i upoznaj misli moje:
O God, let the secrets of my heart be uncovered, and let my wandering thoughts be tested:
24 pogledaj, ne idem li putem pogubnim i povedi me putem vječnim!
See if there is any way of sorrow in me, and be my guide in the eternal way.
